Description d+bugzilla 2011-07-14 20:54:02 UTC

[ this is forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/472515 ]

When I click on the prefs button or the method switcher button in the
applet, it opens a new window even if such a window is already opened.
It's easy to create dozens of identical windows that way.

It should really open a window if it doesn't exist and otherwise make
the existing window visible.

Currently, this report is related only to uim-pref because uim-im-switcher is a single instance application from uim 1.6.0 (fixed in #2112).

thank you for your checking.
but uim-dict and uim-input-pad-ja should do too.

Why do you think that uim-dict and uim-input-pad-ja should have a limitation on number of instances?

Multiple instances of uim-pref and uim-im-switcher make user confused because the configurations which can be set by uim-pref and uim-im-switcher is single. But uim-dict and uim-input-pad-ja aren't related to any configurations of uim.

IMO, we should restrict number of instances only when there is good reason to do.
